Tools for health data anonymization employ various techniques to protect patient privacy while allowing data utility. Common methods include
data masking (replacing sensitive data with fake values),
generalization (making data less specific, like age ranges), and
synthetic data generation (creating entirely new, statistically similar datasets). Software like ARX (open-source), K2view, and IBM InfoSphere Optim offer these capabilities. Many also support compliance with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR.
